SiS Graphics 671/771

Hello, is there any way to get the card to work under Arch?

There is a driver in Mageia, but I haven't been able to get the card to work by copying the files.

There was also a package in Aur, but it is no longer available.

I don't want to throw away the notebook (Esprimo Mobile V5535) because of this.

Thanks.

The first result on DDG , https://github.com/rasdark/xf86-video-sis671 , looks to be maintained.

I give up.
Unfortunately it doesn't work or "make install" ends with many error messages.
The patch probably only works in Debian-based distros.
I tried all day, what a pity.
